Today's Chang'an has been talking a lot in the past few days, and the theme after tea and dinner is Zhu Fangping at this time. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Before the Battle of Beiting, a snow disaster caused countless refugees in Beiting to flock to nearby state cities, such as Youzhou and Liangzhou. However, when the refugees from Beiting came, the assassin of Liangzhou not only did not choose to provide disaster relief and save people, but also closed the four doors and did not allow people from Liangzhou to go to the rescue. Now Zhu Fangping has been found to be suspected of defecting to the enemy and betraying the country, and wants to force the rebels before the war and disturb the situation in Beiting Liangzhou and Youzhou.

I'm afraid no one knows what the real situation is, but Yanqiu, the general of Liangzhou, reported it like this, and Zhu Fangping was also imprisoned by the emperor's order and escorted to Chang'an by Yanqiu. Zhu Fangping's matter spread to Chang'an, which immediately aroused public anger, and for a while Zhu Fangping's name became a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him.

Han Tongwen has been waiting for a long time for this day in Hanye Village, and he is also the one who experienced the isolation of refugees in Liangzhou at the beginning, and he didn't understand the details of the doubts. Zhu Fangping served as the assassin of Liangzhou for ten years, with outstanding political achievements and excellent reputations, and was a rare cadre, and he was also a student of Ji Ling. For Ji Ling's vision, Han Tongwen only admires it, although all the facts and status quo point to Zhu Fangping's collaboration with the enemy, Han Tongwen still retains some opinions. When he visited Shifu at night, he suspected that Zhu Fangping was under house arrest, but who had the ability to put a party under house arrest, some doubts were still unclear, until he received a letter from Hu Shan a few months ago that he understood everything, and the surroundings of Beiting had been eroded to the point of needing major surgery. Even though there were many people in the court who advocated killing Zhu Fangping, Han Tongwen still decided that he could save Zhu Fangping.

Just do it, the general case is reviewed by the living Dali Temple of the Shangshu Criminal Department, and the Yushitai is responsible for supervision, but now to convict an assassin, it must be tried by the three divisions, and the Zhongshu Men and the Yushi Doctor Jin Taiyan will judge the case at the same time.

The first thing Han Tongwen looked for was the current Shangshu Zuo Servant, the prime minister Yuwenjie who replaced Shangguanyi. Although Pei Yan is the most worthy of his trust in Chang'an, first, he is Li An's protégé, and the two of them will still be in charge of Qingya Academy in the future, the two have many places to work together and have the same position, and they also need Pei Yan's help this time, but the first thing Han Tongwen has to do is to go to the prison of the Criminal Department to see Zhu Fangping who was sent to the prison. And the criminal department Shangshu Yuancong belongs to the jurisdiction of Yuwenjie, secondly, and this belongs to the Guanlong aristocratic group, and thirdly, Yuwenjie is also from Zhaowen Academy, and Zhu Fangping is in the same camp as him, Zhu Fangping is a powerful official, if Zhu Fangping is saved, it will also be a big strengthening for Yuwenjie.

Although Han Tongwen's official position is low, he is only a teaching assistant from the sixth grade, and even the city gate officials guarding the city gate are bigger than him, but no one dares to despise him. Although Han Tongwen is young, he has the strong support of Pei Yan behind him, and the relatives of the emperor and the crown prince. In addition to his extraordinary vision and foresight, the national policy formulated several times to save the empire from a dilemma, Han Tongwen's promotion was expected by everyone.

There was no Taoist Shangshu Provincial Government Office to find Yuwenjie, but to Yuwenjie's mansion, it was better to talk about these things through the back door in private, Yuwenjie heard that Han Tongwen was visiting, and he also met him in person.

"Late-born Han Tongwen, meet Yuwen's left servant!"

"I've heard of the name of the virtuous nephew for a long time, and today I can see that he is really extraordinary," Yuwenjie said with a smile

"The left servant is polite."

The two were polite to each other for a while, and Yuwenjie was also curious about why Han Tongwen had nothing to do with him, so why he suddenly visited today.

"I don't know what Lord Zuo Servant thinks of Liangzhou's assassination of Zhu Fangping," Han Tongwen asked.

According to Yanqiu's report, Zhu Fangping was suspected of colluding with the Golden Wolf Empire to plot against refugees during the war between the Golden Wolf Empire and the Tang Dynasty. But Zhu Fangping and I have a friendship with classmates, and I will definitely find out the truth, and deal with it in accordance with Tang Law."

"Dissatisfied with Lord Zuo's shooting, I suspect that Zhu Tingshi was framed"

"Oh, what evidence do you have?" In the Li Zhong incident, most of the officials were purged, and now it is a time when there is a shortage of people, if Zhu Fangping can hold the position of the assassin, it will be the most pleasing to him.

"There is no actual evidence, but I passed through Liangzhou back then, and I searched Shifu at night and found some clues, and I still need to see Zhu Thorn Shi before I can make a conclusion."

"Did you come today to ask me to allow you to see Zhu Fangping?" asked Yuwenjie.

"Yes, does Lord Zuo Servant really believe that Mr. Ji's disciple will become a collaborator?"

"In the nearly ten years that Zhu Fangping has served as the assassin, he has an excellent reputation in Liangzhou, and the reputation of the officials is also good. Yuwenjie thought for a while, "I'll arrange it tomorrow, you go to see Zhu Fangping, if there is any suspicious situation, send someone to tell me quickly"

"It's the left servant who shoots the adult"

Early the next morning, Han Tongwen went to the prison of the Criminal Department, and was led by Yuan Cong directly to the place where Zhu Fangping was held in the depths of the prison, and Zhu Fangping was resting against the cold prison wall at this time. Zhu Fangping's complexion was sallow, his face was withered, and he was obviously greatly stimulated, and he did not have the majesty and momentum of the assassination at all.

"Zhu Thorn History, Zhu Thorn History" Han Tongwen screamed twice in a row to wake up Zhu Fangping.

"Who are you, what are you looking for me" Zhu Fangping was expressionless, perhaps he was desperate and had lost hope of living.

"I'm here to help you"

"Is that just you?" Zhu Fangping glanced at him disdainfully, and regarded Han Tongwen as someone who wanted to take advantage of him to rise to the top in the court, turned over and continued to close his eyes and ignore him.

"Lord Zhu, when you closed the four gates in Liangzhou to prevent the people of Liangzhou from relieving the refugees in Beiting, I happened to be in Liangzhou, and I once explored the Assassin Mansion at night, we had a relationship before, I don't know if Lord Assassin Shi still remembers, but I was masked at that time, and Lord Assassin Shi didn't see it."

As soon as Han Tongwen said this, Zhu Fangping opened his eyes and looked him up and down, "I have some impressions"

"I have evidence that Lord Thorn was falsely accused, I don't know if Lord Thorn is willing to cooperate with me and tell me everything you know"

"What's the use of telling you, you better stop being nosy"

"Lord Thorn Shi, don't you even have the courage to fight now?" asked Han Tongwen.

"Is it useful to fight?" Zhu Fangping seemed to have resigned himself to his fate.

"If you go on like this, you will become a traitor, your son, your wife, and you will not be able to hold your head up for the rest of your life"

"Can't hold your head up for the rest of your life?" Zhu Fangping's closed eyes left two lines of tears, "They are all dead"

"What...."Han Tongwen didn't expect those people to be so bold and arrogant.

"Then you should take revenge, I am willing to help you because I know that you are not a murderer, and I want the truth to be revealed. Those people are the fine works of the empire, the power of the Golden Wolf Empire and the Dongying Empire has penetrated into Youzhou, Liangzhou and other places, if the next war breaks out again, the consequences are unimaginable, you are not for your family, you should also take care of the millions of people in Liangzhou, Beiting, these three states."

"You say those people are not harming me for my status, but for seeking the country?" Zhu Fangping's eyes were extremely bright.

"Exactly, I once explored the Shifu at night, and the warrior I met was the Dongying swordsman, I am very sure, and I have some other evidence"

"So my wife and children didn't die because of me, but for the righteousness of the country?" Zhu Fangping actually lay in the corner and cried, the man didn't flick his tears, but it was not time to be sad.

"I always thought that someone was thinking about this against me, so that I could give up the position of assassin, my wife was humiliated, my children were whipped to death, I dragged them down!"

Han Tongwen waited for him to vent his feelings before he said, "Festival mourning changes,

"You ask, I'll tell you when I know, but I don't know much about some of them" Zhu Fangping paid attention to this young man.

"Did Lord Assassin Shi give an order to close the four gates and organize refugees to enter the city?"

"Never, I, Zhu Fangping, have read the book of sages and sages, as the history of Liangzhou, how can I watch thousands of refugees ignore it, after I heard that the refugees from Beiting were displaced in Liangzhou, I gave three orders, gather grain, open the city, and provide disaster relief!"

Han Tongwen frowned, "The scene I saw in Liangzhou is that the four doors are closed, and no one is allowed to help privately"

"Does Lord Thorn know who changed your order?"

"I know!"
